What’s the assembly status of Rebel Ridge?
After an extended development process and covid-related delays, Netflix’s Rebel Ridge is about to finally enter production on April 5, 2021 in New Orleans and l. a. . Filming is predicted to last until May 29, 2021 provided there are not any further hiccups caused by COVID-19.

In January, Boyega shared that he should be training up for the assembly .
On June 3, 2021 Netflix announced that Boyega had to exit the project thanks to family reasons. Filming had already been happening , so every scene Boyega shot must now be reshot. Production has come to a halt due to this.
“Rebel Ridge is pausing temporarily as we glance to re-cast John Boyega who needed to go away the project for family reasons. We remain committed to Jeremy Saulnier’s extraordinary film and appearance forward to resuming production. we glance forward to continuing our partnership with John Boyega’s UpperRoom Productions, additionally to our upcoming film They Cloned Tyrone during which he also stars.”
According to sources from The Hollywood Reporter, Boyega quit the assembly without telling anyone and therefore the alleged reasons were associated with the script and his accommodations. THR also suggest that even Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos tried to influence Boyega to return back. His agent, however, defended his client during a statement:
“I can categorically say that these rumours are completely untrue. People will form their opinions often rooted from boredom. As stated John unfortunately left thanks to family reasons which in fact is none of anyone’s business except his own. John and Netflix have an exquisite relation which can still grow for years to return whether that be through his acting or through [Boyega’s production company] UpperRoom.”
When will Rebel Ridge be released on Netflix?
Considering the problems the assembly is facing, the movie is unlikely to be on the brink of complete in 2021, but perhaps a late 2022 date is feasible .
